Do Jewish Lives Matter?

 On October 8, 2023, the day after the brutal sneak attack by Hamas that slaughtered over 1,200 people (mostly Jewish), there was landslide worldwide support for Israel; but there were also words of caution. Several pundits predicted that support for Israel would quickly wane and be replaced by pro-Palestinian propaganda narrative assert that the Palestinians are the real victims. 

As time progresses this is exactly what is been happening. There have been a growing number of worldwide pro-Palestinian protests. I will be limiting my remarks to egregious comments just made by Richard Fowler who appears on Fox News as a token leftist commentator. He made an appeal to have (unspecified) "discussions" to end the war to end the suffering of the Palestinians resulting from Israeli military actions. 

Missing from his comments was any acknowledgement that it was the Palestinian through Hamas that started this conflict that resulted in the deaths of over 1,200 people (mostly Jewish) in Israel. Additionally many people were also injured as a result of this barbaric sneak attack. 

 Fowler should have acknowledged in his comments that Hamas initiated the conflict and that any "discussions" to end the conflict would have to include justice for Israel and the disarming of Hamas to end this cycle of violence. Additionally, any "discussions" would need to include disarming Hezbollah so that the cycle of violence against Israel can be ended. Jewish lives matter.
